After their wedding on October 12, Princess Eugenie of York and new husband Jack Brooksbank will be living in a residence that already houses several royal families.

The couple have already moved into Ivy Cottage, a small three-bedroom property on the private grounds of Kensington Palace, four months after they announced their engagement, according to Harper’s Bazaar. Ivy Cottage will be the first place that Eugenie, who is one of the Queen’s grandchildren, and Brooksbank, a former bartender, have lived together.

The newlyweds will not be the only royal couple living at Kensington Palace. When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married in May, they also moved in to a residence on the royal grounds, Nottingham Cottage, where Harry initially proposed. Additionally, Prince William and Kate Middleton live in Apartment 1A with their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis.

Kensington Palace has been the home of numerous royal families since the 17th century, when William III bought the estate from his Secretary of State, according to its official website. In total, 15 members of the royal family currently call Kensington Palace home.

Previously, Princess Eugenie lived in an apartment with her sister, Princess Beatrice, at St. James’ Palace, another royal residence just outside of St. James’ Park in London. She and Brooksbank will get married at Windsor Castle, in the same chapel where Harry and Meghan became husband and wife.

Princess Eugenie is the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth II’s second son, and is in line for the throne. Brooksbank, who is not descended from royalty, was formerly the manager of a London nightclub and now works as an European manager for Casamigos, George Clooney’s tequila brand, according to USA Today.
